Gypsy and Brown-Tail Moth Department
Report of Local Superintendent, Gypsy and Brown Tail Moths.
In compliance with requirements, I beg to render my re- port showing the progress of the work done during the past year, in the way of the extermination of the Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth.
It is generally known, I think, that the Brown Tail specie is ever increasing, which fact is beyond human power to prevent owing to the migration of the pests from one place to another. It must be admitted there are woodlots in the town in bad con- dition, being infested by Gypsy Moths, but unless the owners will co-operate with the State in bearing the burden of the expense of clearing such, nothing can be done, the state being unable to meet the total expenditure necessary for carrying on the work.
Orchards and highways have been carefully watched during the year and as a result show much improvement.
To many, it may not be known, that the work of this depart- ment is directly under the supervision and direction of a State Inspector and only such work as he may elect and the amount thereof can be attempted.
Warning is hereby given to those persons selling wood for transportation out of town, and until it is carefully inspected and nests treated properly thereon, it is unlawful to carry same out side the limits of the town.

Local Superintendent Gypsy and Brown Tail Moth Department.

Report of Trustees of Public Library
The Library Trustees have only to repeat their usual annual observations on the adininistration of the library for the past year. Their best efforts have been devoted to the conducting of the trust reposed in them by their fellow citizens, to the end that the usefulness of the institution as contemplated in its foundation be not alone adequately maintained, but properly and constantly ex- tended. This, by study of the growing requirements of the town, by careful conservation of the means generously placed at their disposal by town and citizens, and by efficient and courteous ser- vice required and rendered in all branches, they have endeavored to accomplish. In the acquisition of books the two correlative functions of the institution as a source of information and of en- tertainment have ever been borne in mind.
Certain unusual and necessary repairs of the main library . building make the special appropriation for this purpose asked by the Trustees necessary.
The annual report of the Librarian to the Trustees, and the list of books added to the library by purchase or gift during the year, are submitted herewith.

Report of the School Committee
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Wayland :
Your Committee is gratified to report another year of improve- ment in the condition of the public schools.
At the end of last year the resignation of a majority of our teachers made necessary a general reorganization of the teach- ing force. Superintendent Prior, with the encouragement and approval of the committee, succeeded in securing for the present year an admirable corps of teachers. The earnest and faithful effort of Mr. Prior has been and will be of lasting benefit to our schools and his resignation from our district is to be deplored. It is most unfortunate for our town that the Wayland, Sudbury and Dover district is so wasteful of the strength and time of our Sup- erintendents.
The Wayland schools are running smoothly under the care of our new superintendent, Mr. Benedict, who is using every effort to increase the efficiency of the corps of teachers.
In general the work of the teachers is excellent and the re- sults they have accomplished is to their credit and the town's advantage. The uniting of the branches of manual training and drawing under the able leadership of Mr. Hazeltine has proved a complete success and your committee feels the change should be commended.
In engaging the teaching force the Committee after making a review of the conditions in corresponding towns fixed upon $600 as the maximum salary for teachers in the grade schools. As a result of this decision a high grade of teachers have been ob- tained and kept through the year.
The unavoidable increase in the salaries of the various teachers,

the equipment of the laboratories in the high school, the addi- tional cost of heating and ventilating the new school building in Cochituate, the increasing cost of transportation and the fact that we can no longer expect state aid since the increased valuation of the town has deprived Wayland of this source of income, demand an increased appropriation for the support of our schools.
For the first time an appeal for a new school building in Cochi- tuate, can be omitted from the annual report of the school com- mittee, who are able to congratulate the town upon the approach- ing completion of the Cochituate building.
The Wayland building has a crying need of a supply of water for drinking and other legitimate purposes. If the citizens knew how great this need is we should not be able to report this lack at the end of another year.

Supt. F. H. Benedict,
My Dear Sir : --
I present herewith my first annual report as Principal of the Wayland High School. While the first year of my admin- istration is but little more than half over, I think it may be feasible to outline somewhat briefly the policy which has been mapped out for the efficient administration and develope- ment of the school. Thus far it has been my aim to preserve the attitude of an observer and learner, studying care- fully the general conditions and needs of the school, with a view to keeping up the good work already begun and the toning up of those departments and conditions that need such treatment.
I cannot emphasize too strongly to everyone, more especially
